being a sucker for lip and cheek stains i had to break down and get this. the color is a pretty koolaid stained look with a bit of pretty shimmer, perfect for summer. on lips it is a bit drying but works well topped with gloss. i find it easier to use with a bit of moisturizer on cheeks b/c if not it can be hard to apply. the packaging is beyond me..very inconvient and unsanitary. unless the color is really stunning again i will probably not purchase another one of these unless revlon decided to change the packaging.
